Answer 1

There are two ways to create instance of SharedPreference:

Case 1:

SharedPreferences preferences = activity.getSharedPreferences("", MODE_PRIVATE);

Case 2:

SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);

Notice if you create a preference with the same name (case 1) or same context (case 2) even at different places, it's still the same, and can share data, obviously.
